I really think that CRPG's take away from the whole concept of RPG's. I played in a group that consisted of 6 players and one DM. Most of us worked together and that's what made it even more fun. I know what you mean by having a set of "favorite" dice. Although my dice bag is a Royal Crown bottle holder (purple and gold bag).
Before I moved we had almost finished Return to the Tomb of Horrors
........nasty module......wish they'd make a CRPG involing more like that one though.
I do enjoy Neverwinter Nights, I must admit. Although finding a group that knows how to actually RPG with it is tough. Nowadays everyone just wants to hack-n-slash thru everything.
I'll give you 10 secs to run from my Delayed Blast Fireball.......
Ready.........set................go.........
